 iMac Cooling May 3, 2010

Although iMacs are designed to handle the heat generated using "passive" cooling (read no internal fan) I always use the philosophy that cooler is better. I mounted this fan behind my iMac and use an already existing hub to plug it in. It's quiet and the computer runs noticeably cooler. Will it increase the life of the computer? I don't know. But like I said, cooler is better. I do wish there was a power switch incorporated into the speed control but unplugging it isn't really much of a problem. I'm totally satisfied with the unit.
Excellent Fan for Entertainment Centers, etc. February 8, 2010

This fan is perfect for venting an entertainment center or a computer desk because it is powered by a USB connector and it has a speed control allowing you to adjust the speed of the fan for the best combination of airflow and (lack of) noise. The wires leading to it stay out of the way because they are on a spring-loaded reel which takes up the slack. I purchased a new entertainment center which, hard to believe, has no power outlets or vent fans! The area where the equipment resides quickly became an oven. For the first few weeks I had to leave the doors open all of the time, a completely unsatisfactory situation. I wanted to install fans to vent the cabinet, but powering them was an issue. This fan solves the problem as it is powered by the USB port on the back of one of my TiVos. I also installed one in my wife's computer desk, which made it run 20+ degrees cooler and much quieter. In both cases, I removed the "legs" and purchased longer bolts and nuts, drilled a hole in the back and mounted the fan. It took about 5 minutes for the installation. Highly recommended!

I bought 2,I use it for my xbox 360,since in entertainment center and no where else to put it,keeps xbox ventilated and dust away from it,of course used usb ac powered hub so doesn't take from xbox,and the other for my desktop computer.Going to buy 2 more,It's a great solution for devices you can't keep well ventilated and to provide constant air flow to your devices.
High Quality Fan June 11, 2010

I bought this fan because my TVPal dvr ( A lot like a HD tivo, but only uses over the air signals ) was getting too hot. This fan was extremely quiet even at the high speeds, but I turned it on low because that's all it needed to do the job. It plugged right into my dvr, so no wall plug was needed. The quality is excellent, and this fan would be perfect to cool any A/V equipment - just plug it into a usb port and you are ready to go.

Yeah, it blows air!!!! It moves more air than the little unit but blows it at a slower rate... For the desk I'd get the little one, for cooling electronics and quiet operation, this one fits the bill....
